Jjapaguri, Jja-jang-myeon, Parasite🥢

Have you tried "Jja-jang-myeon"?

Jja-jang-myeon

Have you heard "Steak Ramdon (called Jjapaguri)" from the K-movie, "PARASITE"???

(Here in North America, they might heard as black bean paste noodles,
but slightly different to express.)




It is a very popular Korean menu.
In my teenage years, we ate Jjajangmyeon on special days such as graduation days, birthdays etc.

I remember that I also had it with my parents
after my elementary school graduation ceremony.


Due to its popularity, one Korean ramen company created instant jjajangmyeon, named "Jjapagetti". 


Later, the menu "Jjapaguri" from Parasite was introduced. (I don't know who originally created this menu.)
I also got to know it from the movie.

In Korea, another ramen (Neoguri) is also super famous of its chewy noodles. 
(as you can see the picture).

Jjapaguri= Jjapagetti + Neoguri + Beef stake
(Black bean sauce is from Jjapagetti,
 not Neoguri)



From Parasite

According to the director, Bong junho and the translator of the movie Parasite, they said that it was absolutely difficult to translate the Korean cultural food menu called "Jjapaguri".

It became steak ramdon (ramen + noodle),
 which is so clever.

You might see the menu 👆 if you go to a Korean restaurant.


Today
I am feeling that I want to eat Jajangmyeon for our dinner.
I am going to cook this. 😃

Tomorrow I will post my recipe.

Stay tuned for the recipe...

Beautiful Day: K pop song

   I'd like to introduce one of my favorite K-pop songs, "Beautiful Life" by Crush. You may listen other K-pop songs by BTS, EXO, Black Pink,  Monsta X, A-pink, Red Velvet etc. However, there are other good K-Pop songs with wide v arieties  and this is one of the these.   This is one of the OST songs of a very popular  K-Drama called "Goblin". I like this song because of beautiful melody and warm lyrics,  which make me indeed very happy. Lyrics: [Verse 1] It’s a beautiful life I’ll be by your side It’s a beautiful life I’ll be standing behind you Beautiful love If I am with you under the sun Even just breathing feels good [Chorus] It’s a beautiful life Beautiful day I’ll be living in the memories of you Beautiful life Beautiful day Please stay by my side [Hook] Beautiful my love Beautiful your heart It’s a beautiful life It’s a beautiful life [Verse 2] It’s a beautiful life Always I’ll protect you It’s a beautiful life So that you can lean on me Beauti...
